Name VariationTheodore J. Muller 
Birth*11 January 1869; New York, New York2,3 
Baptism6 February 18694 
Confirmation*6 April 1884; Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey5 
Marriage*17 July 1894; St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey; Principal=Marie Matilde Martha Tigges6,7 
Residence*582 Jersey Avenue, Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey8 
Census*1930; 582 Jersey Ave., Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey9 
Census1940; Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey; found as Theodore Mueller (wrong) with wife Pauline (wrong) and son Howard (wrong)! The only things that are correct are his address, first name and occupation. He was age 71, not 40. Pauline Maurer lived in the same house in another apartment. They had no son Howard, but their granddaughter (me), age 7, lived with them at the time. Their son Theodore John, Jr. (my father) did not live with them (see his 1940 census entry). Theodore's wife Mary was age 65, not 38; she was not a teacher. Howard, age 14, is entirely mythical.

Unfortunately, this is a prime example of enumerator error/carelessness. These were my grandparents, I lived with them, and I know the facts.10 
Note*He retired in 1947 (newspaper clipping in DJW files) after 36 years as an attendance officer with the Jersey City School System. He was born in NYC but moved to Jersey City one year later. He died in Hyde Park, NY where he and grandma had come to live with us. He had attended School 4 and Drake's Business College and was appointed attendance officer 12/21/1911. Some records show middle initial as M. Marriage record and son's birth certificate show middle name John. I have his prized billy stick, whiich he gave to Eunice Sylvester's father for safekeeping when he moved to Hyde Park. Eunice gave it to me on a visit in 1999.8 
Death*8 September 1952; Hyde Park, Dutchess, New York11 
Burial*Union Cemetery, Hyde Park, Dutchess, New York
